It began in their third year - the year the walls of Hogwarts seemed to whisper secrets, and danger felt closer than ever. But for Hermione Granger, the real secret wasn't hidden in the shadows. It was Lyra Malfoy. Known as Draco's sister, but nothing like him, Lyra carries a calm power that silences rooms and a mystery even her closest friends don't dare question. Beneath her quiet defiance and sharp wit lies a truth about her bloodline that could shatter everything - and a heart that betrays her better judgment every time Hermione's near. Hermione knows this connection breaks every rule she's ever followed. Lyra knows it could ruin her if anyone found out. Yet, as each year passes - as house loyalties shift, new professors test them, and war begins to rise - they find themselves drawn together, again and again, like two forces meant to collide. From whispered glances in candlelit halls to choices that could tear them apart, their story is one of secrecy, rebellion, and love that shouldn't exist... but refuses to die. Because some bonds aren't chosen by magic they're forged in defiance of it.

𝐌𝐈𝐋𝐋𝐈𝐄 𝐇𝐀𝐑𝐓 𝘘𝘶𝘪𝘦𝘵. 𝘚𝘩𝘺. 𝘕𝘦𝘳𝘥. 𝘗𝘳𝘶𝘥𝘦. That's what everyone calls me while turning up their noses at me. Even if it's true, I don't care. I have a plan. Keep my head down and graduate from Huxley High to get into my dream university. Well, that was my plan. Until something shattered everything I had worked for. Until I started partnering up for an assignment with the daughter of the family who owns the town. She has the world at her feet. Popular, talented, out of everyone's league, with good looks to match. Everyone craves a piece of her and worships the ground she walks on. Except me. What begins with a school project starts invoking feelings in me, awaking something deep and irresistible in me. 𝘍𝘦𝘦𝘭𝘪𝘯𝘨𝘴 𝘐'𝘷𝘦 𝘯𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘳 𝘧𝘦𝘭𝘵 𝘣𝘦𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘦... I have never truly existed, until her. The things she makes me feel are filthy. Obscene. But, I soon start begging for more, begging to a degree that scares me as much as it excites me. 𝘏𝘰𝘸 𝘤𝘢𝘯 𝘴𝘰𝘮𝘦𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘸𝘳𝘰𝘯𝘨 𝘧𝘦𝘦𝘭 𝘴𝘰 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥? 𝐁𝐀𝐈𝐋𝐄𝐘 𝐒𝐓𝐄𝐄𝐋𝐄 𝘘𝘶𝘦𝘦𝘯 𝘣𝘦𝘦. 𝘊𝘩𝘦𝘦𝘳 𝘤𝘢𝘱𝘵𝘢𝘪𝘯. 𝘚𝘪𝘯𝘧𝘶𝘭𝘭𝘺 𝘳𝘪𝘤𝘩. I always had everything under control, nothing happened I didn't plan for. Until an unforeseen obligation turned my life upside down. 𝘜𝘯𝘵𝘪𝘭 𝘩𝘦𝘳. She barged into my life unannounced and stripped me down of all the defenses I had built. 𝘉𝘦𝘢𝘶𝘵𝘪𝘧𝘶𝘭. 𝘚𝘸𝘦𝘦𝘵. 𝘛𝘪𝘮𝘪𝘥. 𝘐𝘯𝘯𝘰𝘤𝘦𝘯𝘵. 𝘛𝘩𝘢𝘵'𝘴 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘴𝘩𝘦 𝘪𝘴 𝘭𝘪𝘬𝘦. A school assignment. A deadline. It should have been a piece of cake. I'm Bailey Steele after all, there is nothing I can't handle.

"You are the love of my life," Y/N said. "I love you." "If loving me comes with shame," Hermione breathed in a shaky breath. "I don't want your love." In a matter of seconds, Y/N's world came tumbling down. Hermione's words hit her like a pile of bricks. It wasn't long until her pride was in shambles - barely hanging on by a thread. She felt so fucking weak and pathetic. Hermione was the only one she'd been truly herself with and, turns out, she wasn't enough. "I'm trying my best," Y/N's red eyes - as if they weren't bright enough - brightened even more with tears. ⋇⊶⊰❣⊱⊷⋇ Y/N Crimson, a 15-year-old student in her fourth year at Hogwarts School of Witchcraft and Wizardry, gets chosen as a Triwizard Champion as Cedric Diggory's replacement alongside Harry Potter. Y/N also grapples with her emotions, particularly her growing feelings for Hermione Granger; to be or not to be? Just ask her the question, she thought - she was about to until everything all came tumbling down when what Y/N had thought she had left in the past was suddenly in front of her, face-to-face. A friend, or a foe? Amidst all this, a feeling gnawed her from the inside out, a feeling that something bad would happen. Disclaimer: This book follows the plot of J.K.

Y/N landed from the private plane, met by the familiar face of the flight attendant who had been a constant presence since her childhood. The attendant had aged gracefully from her 20s to her early 30s, witnessing Y/N's growth over the years. For the Muggle world, Y/N's education was shrouded in secrecy. Amaryllis told her Muggle friends that Y/N attended a boarding school, conveniently hiding Hogwarts. The Four Founders of Hogwarts had devised a fictional boarding school in the Muggle realm, providing a cover for Muggle-born students like Hermione. The clock showed 9 am, marking the next day after their 8 pm leave yesterday. As they stepped onto Californian soil, the warm sun welcomed them. The temperature wasn't as scalding as Y/N remembered, but it was certainly much, much warmer than London. ✴✴✴✴✴ The crowd erupted in joy as the new year arrived, and fireworks burst into the sky, casting a brilliant, kaleidoscopic display. In that moment, amidst the sparkling lights, Y/N and Hermione sat next to each other - they always have. But one thought they shared indefinitely: "I'm confused about you." ✴✴✴✴✴ Disclaimer: This book follows the plot of J.K. Rowling's Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban.

"Why do you keep looking at me?" Y/N finally asked, her eyes still focused on the book in her hands. Hermione's voice was gentle as she replied, "I like looking at you." "Yeah?" Y/N asked softly, her voice barely above a whisper. Hermione nodded, her expression filled with a warmth that made Y/N's heart race. "Yes," she confirmed, her eyes never leaving Y/N's. ✴✴✴✴✴ Y/N Crimson, a 13-year-old girl, has recently discovered that she possesses the extraordinary power of the Flame, marking her as one of the "Blessed Children." This newfound blessing, however, proves to be a source of confusion and frustration for Y/N. Dumbledore, the enigmatic headmaster of Hogwarts, offers little guidance, leaving her bewildered and without proper training. He insists that the power must be developed by the user themselves, further adding to her struggle. Complicating Y/N's life is the presence of her half-siblings, a result of her father's affair. Despite their shared blood, Y/N vehemently denies any connection to them, refusing to accept them as her family. Her denial is met with skepticism, as those around her find it hard to believe. Amidst these challenges, Y/N's journey takes an unexpected turn as she discovers the existence of other individuals like her, fellow Blessed Children. This revelation raises questions about their intentions. Are they potential allies or adversaries? Y/N is left to wonder whether their encounters will be marked by hostility or the possibility of forming new bonds. DISLCAIMER! This book follows the plot of J.K.
